And even salted peanut butter still has about twice as much potassium as sodium.Numerous studies have shown that people who regularly include nuts or peanut butter in their diets are less likely to develop heart disease or type 2 diabetes than those who rarely eat nuts.
We Live in a Radioactive World The uses of radioactive materials, many of which generate low-level radioactive waste, have become an integral part of modern life. We do live in a radioactive world. Radioactivity is all around us. It is in rocks, in soil, in water.
Radiation use does, however, come with risks. Historically, radiation shielding materials have been manufactured from lead (Pb). Lead shielding, often used in a variety of applications including diagnostic imaging, radiation therapy, nuclear and industrial shielding. For the purpose of this post, we will focus on the three different types of materials used in manufacturing x-ray attenuating garments such as aprons, vests, and skirts.
